Yes. We're big like a telephone directory is big.
Please let's not celebrate this milestone.
When we got to 50k articles we were saying "but so many are stubs", and
we're in a worse situation now, as I don't see how we can exclude these town pages
from article counts.
They really are stubs, maybe not in terms of length but in terms of content and
usefulness.
It's not that I don't care about one-horse US towns (well, okay, I don't) but
I feel the entire Wikipedia has tilted.
We shouldn't delete them, but to balance we should maybe work on, say, adding 10,000
articles to the Tree of Life project?
